The new musical comedy “Boop”, which opens this weekend in Broadway, is one of the few family -friendly performances per year.
There is no coffee and nothing wrong-just as you expect the song's bet and dance quoted from an unpaid cartoon.
But Betty Boop, the icon of the thirties of the twentieth century on which the show depends, was very very exciting and very sexy for the healthy eyes and the app.
Porty Betty was a victim of HAYS, or an animated production code, which in 1934 was banned with profanity and reducing violence and sexual content in movies – even animated movies.
Among the many harsh restrictions, put the code to stop in Hollywood. Nudity was no. The rules have even warned of “excessive kissing and lust.”
At the peak of the character, its iconic appearance that is still known today was the Alumish Alumiz, the collar earrings, and the knee and the knee. The lust of the men who walk after my home and chase it all over the room.
On one occasion, the mermaid was naked. In another short period, only Hola skirt wore a flower that hides some sensitive areas.
Then the symbol was enacted.
Over the course of a decade, according to the design history magazine, Betty has evolved from “Agriculture” to a “middle -class housewife”.
By 1935, Gone was the ligament, and the shoulder -free dress was switched for a less detected dress. Betty has become longer and larger with a new hairstyle.
An article in 1938 describes in New Jersey Home News “Betty Boop Goes Modern” turning TONON.
“Before the swing comes, Betty Boop, the product of” Jazz era “, embraced all the characteristics of the times – curls, explosions, earrings, bracelets and curves.
“But the times have changed with my backs. My Betcher Cartoon, Beati Bob, the animated personnel, has renewed their star. She lost most of the curls, jewelry – and curves. She is wearing more modest clothes – censorship, as you know – and she wondering about the“ tower fan. ”
She no longer lives in an apartment or traveled to tropical places. The character instead was a local housewife.
These modest tremors decrease well with the masses. By 1939, Boub's popularity decreased and her films stopped. Fame began to return in 1955 when the catalog was bought by Paramount. Hays code was canceled in 1968.
Now “Booop-A-Dooop” -ing on Broadway, the red dress and Rabat returned to all their glory.
And the musician, who plays the star of Yasmine Amy Rogers Kubati, who escapes from her TV along the way to New York City, is cracking a joke about her famous transformation in the thirties of the twentieth century.
In one scene, Betty Matter-Factly describes her favorite short movie that has ever played.
“The old man twice is decreased by me from Mount Warwat Al -Madinah, then he begins to move and chases me on a tree!”
“This is a baby cartoon?” , He asks another character.
“This was before the code.”
